Hacienda Chimalpa & Zempoala Convent Day Trip

Hacienda Chimalpa & Zempoala Convent Day Trip

The day trip begins with pickup from your hotel in Pachuca. You will visit the Hacienda Chimalpa, famous for pulque production, made from the fermentation of the maguey plant. The hacienda features a main building, a monumental church, and a colonial-style chapel, as well as event facilities like Trojes Hall and the Ruedo for equestrian shows.

After exploring the hacienda, the tour will proceed to the Padre Tembleque Aqueduct, an important 16th-century hydraulic engineering landmark from the Viceroyalty of New Spain.

The next stop is the Zempoala Convent, also known as the Todos los Santos Convent, characterized by its Plateresque-style building with an ornate façade and segmental arches. This site, along with the aqueduct, is part of the Hydraulic System of the Aqueduct of Padre Tembleque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will learn about the history of the Franciscan order during your visit.

A lunch stop will be made in the village of Zempoala before returning to Pachuca, with a drop-off at your hotel approximately 10 hours after pickup.
